Naked bike

When the Kawasaki ‘Big Zed’ naked was discontinued a few years back, it broke the hearts of many a folk. Some moved on, while others simply chose to live in the ghost of days gone by. Now, after a decade, the liter-class motorcycle makes a comeback!

0 to 60 in 2.52 seconds. That’s how fast the all-new Diavel V4 RS goes. And it’s not just an ‘ideal world’ spec on paper, but something Ducati accomplished during test runs in the real world. All that's courtesy of the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale.

CFMoto is not resting on its laurels, having just recently revealed its first-ever inline-four sports motorcycle. The Chinese bikemaker has just revamped its lineup for America with some exciting motos that make the brand hard to ignore.

You wouldn’t generally associate Royal Enfield with a naked roadster, considering its rich history of classic retros. Think again: the sparkly new Guerrilla 450 has finally landed in the USA, bridging the gap between the brand's 350 and 650cc motos.

What started as a one-off has ended up as a limited production run moto of nine units – and they’re all for sale at $44,900 each. This iconic Ducati 821 is draped in polished aluminum, all without any visible fasteners or mounting points.

The new Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT motorcycles have broken cover. With their distinctive styling, these naked street bikes bring a striking neo-retro vibe that you'll have a hard time taking your eyes off of.

A recent filing with a US environmental agency reveals that Kawasaki might just have a monstrous Z1100 streetfighter motorcycle in the works for 2026, with a larger engine than anything in its own lineup of supernaked motorcycles.

The legendary Honda CB1300 is set to be discontinued. But not before we get a commemorative final edition. It's sad that this bike never made its way to the USA.

After its unveiling at the EICMA 2024 expo, Aprilia's brought its twin-cylinder Tuono 457 naked streetfighter to the market. It's arrived first in India, where it's being manufactured. Expect 47 horses and decent tech in a super-light package.

The Benda LFS 700 might look like an outlandish flat-tracker, but it's essentially a naked that resembles an Autobot from Transformers. The 680cc inline-four produces enough power to go toe-to-toe against the more popular naked bikes of today.

The 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650 motorcycle – revealed at EICMA – offers classic styling, affordability, and comfort. It's not perfect, especially when pushed beyond its remit, but if you like the look, you'll probably love the ride.

Fifty thousand bucks is a lot of money for a motorcycle. Kramer, a boutique maker of race bikes, has tried to cram in as much as it can on two wheels – race-ready components, advanced electronics, and a titanium and carbon-fiber body.
